10 Ft. Ultra Thin HDMI Cable with RedMere Technology - $3.60 Money Maker AR AC @ Newegg.com YMMV

will this go FP

I could use the HDMI cable but I still havent got their rebates from black Friday

What is a redmere technology?

No thanks. This is flaky technology to sell thinner cheaper cable that uses less copper.
I'll stick with standard cables that don't rely on a chip to "correct" the degraded signal caused by their narrow gauge wire.

This is technology to enable making thin HDMI cables that still work well. I don't know how that makes it flaky technology. And it currently costs more to have the chip, so that wouldn't make it cheaper. Sure, you can make a Redmere cable out of crappy wire just like you can a standard HDMI cable.

I got tired of thick gauge cables that put extra strain on connectors. I'd switch all of mine to Redmere if it weren't for the high cost.

How come this isn't FP

if one of the mods would have posted it then it would have been FP a long time ago.

Thanks got 1.

So let me get this straight, Redmere is just thinner, it doesn't provide better video quality than any old HDMI cable???

Is it possible to get the 10ft and the 15ft one and get the rebate for both?

Yes! I just ordered both at the same time.

The rebate offers are different and it asks for a "copy" or the receipt/packing slip. You can order both together and are good to go. Just make sure you send both rebates in separate envelopes.

Thanks, I added 4pts to your rep for answering that question. I was reading through both threads looking for the answer to that. After reading your post I ordered both plus the hard drive bracket. Since I have ShopRunner and use LOTs of these sorts of things I see no reason not to.


Thumbs up to the thread and reps added to the OP!

Nevermind.

Thanks for posting.

got one. thanks
